The Almaty Declaration2 and Programme of Action reflect the continued and strong commitment of the international community to addressing the special needs and problems of landlocked developing countries as called for in the United Nations Millennium Declaration.3 The overarching goal of the Almaty Programme of Action is to forge partnerships to overcome the specific problems of the landlocked developing countries that result from their lack of territorial access to the sea and their remoteness and isolation from world markets.
La Declaración y el Programa de Acción de Almaty ponen de manifiesto el compromiso permanente y firme de la comunidad internacional de atender las necesidades y los problemas especiales de los países en desarrollo sin litoral, tal como se solicitó en la Declaración del Milenio de las Naciones Unidas.
